R-beta: R 0.50 alpha

[Ennapadam Venkatraman]

The new code seems to have broken various things.

Autoloading of libraries doesn't seem to work: 

   > library(survival4)
   Autoloading required library: splines
   Error in pos.to.env(pos) : invalid "pos" argument
   > search()
   [1] ".GlobalEnv"        "library:survival4" "library:date"
   [4] "library:base"

The coxph function the the library survival4 doesn't seem to work. It just
crashes R. See the example below:

It crashed the moment I hit return.
